About The Original Guitar - ESP MX 250

To the new design of the MX-220 was given the name MX-250 (and later just the MX-II, when the price was raised from 250,000 yen). The MX-250 is a little bit lengthier compared with MX-220, far more pointed at the tip. During early nineteen nineties, ESP implemented parallel spherical jacks. And in this ESP James Hetfield guitar, the pickups switch is a bit farther away from the volume control and pickups.

The MX-250 Guitar appears officially in the 1993 catalog. This is the most famous model that James Hetfield use, from the “Black Album era” to today…in every live concert or studio recording…

How Interesting！！！

James Hetfield has been a major endorser of ESP Guitars since the 1980s, and is best known for playing custom-made Explorer-style guitars with an EMG 81/EMG 60 set for pickups. Hetfield's main guitar from the early days was a Flying V copy made in Japan by Electra.

But when the headstock broke on his white Flying V, James turned to his backup guitar: a white Gibson Explorer. Although he later got the Flying V repaired and dabbled with other Vs, it was the Explorer that would become his main guitar for nearly the next 15 years. James began using several versions of the 1984 Gibson Explorer. These were unlike the 1976 version, with rounded edges and no pickguard. Also making a difference was the control layout which was not in-line like other Gibson Explorers. The following are Gibson explorers James Hetfield once used, pls check!!!

This guitar is the newest model from ESP Guitars, the James Hetfield Snakebyte. Finished in a clean looking snow white or black, the guitar is built of a mahogany body and neck, ebony fretboard, set-neck construction, a thin U neck contour, and 22 Xj frets. The Snakebyte is loaded with EMG 81 and 60 humbuckers, which pump out a tone that is clear and tight, excellent for riffs and palm muting. To top it all off, the guitar has a real cool looking snake inlay on the 12th fret.

The ESP James Hetfield Truckster Guitar is the fifth Hetfield Signature Series guitar to carry his name since James and ESP joined forces in 1991.

This signature ESP Truckster features a multilayered finish strategically sanded through and fully distressed to simulate the original guitar.
